Austin, Chicago IL 60644 16162150290000 2 units · 1918

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4821 W Jackson Blvd in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by O & E Alejandre, has been in existence since 1918 and is currently experiencing several environmental and maintenance issues. Over the past seven years, there have been 19 service requests logged through the city's 311 system, with the most recent activity concentrated in August 2024. During that month alone, there were multiple reports of weed problems, rodent issues, and fly dumping in the vicinity, all of which have been resolved according to city records. The building's only outstanding service request as of now is an abandoned vehicle complaint filed in May 2026, which remains open. Given the cluster of maintenance issues reported in August 2024, particularly relating to pests and waste management, these environmental concerns appear to have been a significant challenge for the property in recent months, though most of these issues were addressed through city services.

Risk rating

How 4821 W Jackson Blvd's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
